Downshifting in the IJssel valley

The IJssel valley is an ideal region for a day of cycling. Peace, space, natural beauty and beautiful villages: you will find it all here.

Twello
The route starts at bicycle specialist Profile Hafkamp. You can relax your legs in the beautiful town of Twello, after which you cycle into the countryside. On quiet roads you drive past meadows and stream valleys. An ideal region to switch back for a while.

Appen Bos
In the village of Posterenk you can take a look at the Wilpermolen: a flour mill from 1736. You then cycle through the Bussloo recreation area. The lake was created as a sand excavation during the construction of the A1. In the Appense Bos you will experience a refreshing silence. In Klarenbeek you will pass De Hoop, an octagonal flour mill from 1905 that is covered with reeds. Finally, you pass't Hartelaar, a nineteenth-century country estate whose history goes back to the Middle Ages.
